On March 9th, the Denver Broncos moved quickly to keep their tight-end room intact by resigning two players right before free agency talks could. Officially begin. Adam Trowman got a three-year contract worth up to $18.5 million, while Nate Adkins agreed to a one-year deal of financial. Details still under wraps. Adkins, who went undrafted out of South Carolina in 2023, showed promise last season with 14 catches for 113. Yards and three touchdowns across 17 games. But injuries hit hard this year, sidemining him for eight games, and limiting him to just three starts, which likely pushed him toward the short term. Packed at age 26.

Free agency kicked off Monday at 10am, Mountain Daylight Time, opening doors to upgrades at the spot.
